Team Heights and Hills at 2013 NYC Marathon

THE STORY:

Heights and Hills wrote -

Join Heights and Hills in its first run at the 2013 ING NYC Marathon and help us to promote successful aging.

Heights and Hills is one of the largest nonprofit providers of social services for older adults in Brooklyn — and we need your help to rasie dollars that would benefit a growing population of older adults and the families who care for them with crucial and impactful service they could not otherwise afford.

As with many challenges — including races — the last few miles can be the most difficult for an older adult and their loved ones. Help us connect more seniors to compassionate support systems and avoid costly hospitalization and institutionalization.

Since 1971, Heights and Hills has provided older adults with services, care, and a network of advocates who work tirelessly to help them to live out their older years on their terms, independently and with dignity. While there has been tremendous progress, more work is yet to be done. We invite all across the lifespan.
